Back from the end of the world...
I am finally home. I have two days off, and then I start working back in "my" store. I am sooo glad to be home.
Monday, I only worked until noon. Andy had broke down outside of Seiling, Okla., and spent hours waiting on the side of the road for a tow truck to pull him into Woodward. I told him to let me know, and if he was having to stay down there, I would make a road trip to come see him.
It ended up being the rear end on his Peterbilt that went out, and amazingly enough, the nearest one they could find was in Dodge City. It was going to cost a small fortune to have it delivered, (It weighs about 700 lbs) so Andy told his boss that he had a friend in Dodge right then, and that they would bring it down for them. His boss asked him how much his friend would charge, and Andy said $100. So, he called me up, I went out to the East end of Dodge and they loaded the rear end into the back of my pick up, and I drove the 2 hours down to Woodward.
After they got it unloaded, Andy and I went to Wal Mart, went out to eat Mexican food for supper, and went out for a cruise in a big beautiful campground area outside of Woodward. There are so many deer in there, and they seem so tame, they aren't scared of humans.
Anyway, then he bought us ice cream cones, and we were just laughing, and playing around. It was so fun. It is great when we are somewhere where no one knows us. We went back to his motel, watched videos on GAC, laughed, talked... Then we snuggled up and slept for about 2 1/2 hours, which is when I got up, got dressed, and drove the two hours back to Dodge in time to go to work. I had so much fun down there!
Last night, he called me while I was at Rhonda's house saying he finally got the truck done and unloaded, and was on his way to pick up a load of rock, and could he call me when he got to town? I said yes, of course. He called when he finally got back to town, about 1 am this morning actually, and I went out and met him where he was dropping off the load of rock he had brought up from Oklahoma. I had left some things at the motel he had brought, and I wanted to see him again anyway. We laughed and talked some more, and then I left, with him right behind me. As soon as we came out on the road, one of "our" songs by Shooter Jennings came on the radio. I went to my store and bought a pop, and then I went back to where he was fueling. I asked him if he had heard what came on the radio, and he said he did. I told him that it wasn't a coincidence, and he said that no, he didn't think it was either... I went on home and went to bed.
Now this morning, I am trying to get laundry done, and straighten up things that no one bothered to straighten up when I was gone. I am using my truck to help Rhonda move a love seat later to her mom's house about 10 miles down the road here in Hick County.
